Corn.-sweet and yellow.

This week and next will be the great
corn planting weeks IN Maine. and we
wish to call attention once more before it
is too late, to the importance OF the corn
crop to our farms, and especially to the
Importance of the sweet corn crop. Some
years ago many farmers in our State
abandoned the growing of field or yellow
corn under mistaken notion that they
could buy Western corn cheaper than they
could grow corn upon their home farms.
What these farmers raised to sell in order
to pay for Western corn we do not know,
but it had to be paid for nevertheless.
Now we do not know crop that farmers
in this State can grow to better advantage,
when the grain and the fodder are taken
into account, than the old fashioned yellow
corn. But in order to make this crop pay
it must not be grown in the old fashioned
way. 1t must be grown, or at least cult
waited, largely by horse power. Select
rich, early soil, plant in straight rows
with planter that will put in four acres
a day-and it will do this il the ground
is mellow and we'll prepared-and then as
soon as the corn blades begin to show
themselves, start the cultvator. DO
most of the hoeing with the horse. This
will cheaper production. Then ensilage
the fodder have the corn meal tor your
mich cows, hogs and hens, and the corn
crop cannot tail of being one of the most
profitable grown in Maine.
1t is gratifying to note the extension of
the sweet corn packing business in our
State as evinced by the establishment of
several new factories this spring. And
although we have several times spoken Of
this business before, we cannot again re-
frain from saying that it is a business in
which the farmer has mutual interest
with the packer. The corn must be grown
or the canning factory cannot be estab-
ished, and if the packing company puts
Out Its money to establish the plant. it
must ask of the farmers that they con-
tract to grow the corn. Maine sweet corn
is always to hold the supremacy in the
markets OF the world on account of its
superior sacharine qualities; and we can
and should have double the number OF
packing factories in this State that we
have. 1t is genuine agricultural in
dustry and leads to improve farming and
the better condition of the farmers. If
you can do so now, sign to plant one. two,
or more acres according to your plans, if
factory is to be built IN your town or
vicinity. Select fine, warm piece OF
land, manure and cultivate we'll, and be
especially careful to obtain good seed
More disappointment has resulted in the
past to those who have planted sweet
corn from poor seed, than any other cause.
Generally the seed is furnished by the
owners of the factory and when such is
the case is liable to be satisfactory.

The Recent Prices for Jerseys

The Recent Prices for Jerseys.
Notwithstanding the very low prices
received at the late spring combination
sale of Jerseys in New York, it in no way
lessons the value or detracts from the
merits of this magnificent breed. But
like all good things the breed has suffered
in the past from bad management on the
part of breeders who have combined to run
up prices to fictitious standard. Specula
tive prices which result from 'boom" on
certain individuals. or of a particular strain
of blood, must result in injury to the breed
as a whole-because these fancy prices can
not be maintained, and many splendid indi-
viduals, cows of the highest merit as
butter yielders, because not belonging to
fashionable families" not having fancy
markings, or not in the ring" of a cele
brated breeder. are regarded by the
managers as of little value. This is
all wrong. Among cattle there is no
more wonderful or useful animal than a
finely bred Jersey cow-wondertul as the
most remarkable butter producing animal
ever known, and useful because no ami
NAL on the farm, or kept by the villager.
has ever been known to return so good
dividend for the value invested.
But few animals sold at the New York
sale reached so high figure as $500,
and from this they dropped all the way to
the hundreds, while scores sold for much
less than 500 each, and many went at
figures below $40. Maine breeders made
contributions to the sale. Mr.. Orestes
Pierce of Baldwin sold about dozen
head, and Mr.. George Blanchard OF Cum
berland sold six or eight. The animals
sold were undoubtedly the surplus from
their herds which must be constantly gain
ing in numbers when men are constantly
breeding large numbers. However, we
presume as many good animals came to
Maine from this sale as went from
it to other States. Mr.. II. l.. Horne of
Norway, purchased nine splendidly bred
animals from some of the best herds in
the country and MIR. S. B. Locke of West
Paris also brought to Maine five choice
representatives OF this breed. This in
fusion of new blood into our Maine herds
will add much to the already high charac-
ter of the Maine Jerseys, and will be sure
to result in improvement to the breed
for new infusion of superior animals
to herd or country can but work for the
improvement of the whole live stock in
terest.
